ATOZYM awarded by Asiquim

25 Dic 2025

First place for the ATOZYM line of enzymatic detergents at the Responsible Care ceremony organized by Asiquim (Association of the Chilean Chemical Industry). A first for Austral in the “safe and sustainable products” category, rewarding five years of R&D dedicated to innovative solutions for food safety.

ATOZYM is a complete range of detergents, certified by Directemar and INTA. It is the first range developed and marketed by a national company to permanently eliminate and destroy biofilms in COP and CIP systems. Tri-enzymatic, ATOZYM drastically reduces the use of alkalis/chlorine, due to their impact on health and effluents. We replace these more aggressive chemicals with enzymatic biotechnology, as it is the only technology without mechanical action capable of degrading biofilm at room temperature.

ATOZYM embodies our purpose of “Creating Responsible Value”: it combines enzyme science, process engineering, and operational discipline to offer a detergent that protects people, ensures food safety, and cares for natural resources, representing a benchmark technology for the meat, dairy, and agricultural industries.

Congratulations to Karina Fuentes and the Austral Food Safety team for intelligently transferring a technology already approved in Europe and USA to Chile. In developing ATOZYM, we do not claim to eliminate the toxicity of cleaning products, but rather to better control it.
